          I'd shoot that dog.
          Ever heard of BRASS?
          Stands for Breathe, Relax, Aim, Stop, and Shoot. 
          The Stop part means stop breathing. You get 
          better accuracy, it steadies your body.

          I don't know what your landlord's fussing about,
          those termites are dead. If it were me, I'd do 
          something about that dog. That barking's infringing 
          on your personal space. If you don't have that, 
          there's no respect.

          See the rim of your coffee cup? Last week
          I went to a range. Target was about that size.
          23 of 25 from 100 meters.  Hadn't touched a rifle
          since active duty. Six years and my body still remembered.
          Hard part's the psychology, the concentration.

          County fair I cleaned house. I won her
          a lion and two bears. Guy working the booth,
          all he could do was shake his head and hand them over.
          I had the ferris wheel stopped, too. She liked the lights.
          Right there, above everyone, I decided I'd make her my wife.
